<p>I think I have about a 1% chance of getting into Rutgers but when I tell my friends they say I will surely get in which I can hardly believe. I went to the campus today and it is very nice but didn't get a chance to talk to anybody because the event was so un-organized and crowded.</p>

<p>I am a senior in a public school in Monmouth County (which is ranked 11th in the whole state and there is no ranking system because of that)</p>

<p>SAT - 1630, 560 reading, 550 writing, 520 math
GPA - 2.7-2.8
Community Work - 20 hours of community service and was in a church youth group
Sports - Soccer for two years, I couldn't play the other two years because I was in Croatia for the whole summer visiting family, and soccer is really the only sport I am good at ;)
Work Experience - Work at Target, 25-28 hours a week</p>

<p>Plan to do business or accounting which is the Livingston Campus and in-state (is it true they prefer in-staters than out of state students?)</p>

<p>so whats is RU, a) no chance b) small chance c) 50/50 or d) certain</p>

2

<p>From kids I know and hang out with, that would be pretty average. In-state is usually preferred at a state university.</p>

3

<p>Thanks for the information Vinin, any other people have thoughts on my chances?</p>

4

<p>Livingston? You're probrably in. GPA is ehhh, but you should be good for Livingston.</p>

5

<p>well the guy I talked with at the open house said that if I want a major in business or accounting, Livingston is the best option</p>

6

<p>do Rutgers look at Senior grades?</p>

7

<p>I heard people say that Rutgers does not look at senior grades because they feel they can assess you based on your first three years of high school.</p>

8

<p>well I assume that they don't because I know some kids that are already accepted into Rutgers and the first marking period isn't even over yet</p>

9

<p>Yea...people usually get decisions within three weeks...</p>

<p>I think you have a decent chance...send in a teacher recommendation, it might help...</p>

10

<p>Well I finished my application, all I have to do is the personal statement which I made a rough draft of and I will type that tomorrow and submit it, then of course I have to send in grades and etc..</p>

<p>Well I am really hoping I get in, Rutgers is easily my #1 choice but I am definetely not too confident about it</p>

11

<p>Rutgers is my #1 choice as well. Good luck! Let us know when you receive a decision.</p>

12

<p>Did my personal statement, sent my scores, paid for the application, not all I need is to send the official transcript, still not too sure about it though</p>

13

<p>I heard Rutgers gives you a decision in 2 weeks? The transcript was sent yesterday</p>

14

<p>I got my acceptance e-mail 7 days after I applied, so they their decision-making process is really fast!!!</p>

15

<p>well, considering their holistic review, i'd imagine so... if your sat's and grades are there they accept you...</p>
